A wide variety of cloths can be used to decorate an altar, but
some cloths seem to evoke certain kinds of magical spells and, by their visual
appearance, to help the practitioner concentrate on the job at hand. We offer
the following 100% cotton cloths, each one suitable to double in use as a
bandana (or a handsome dog-scarf!).

CANDLE
HOLDERS FOR CANDLE SPELLS:

When a candle is burned in a spell, it is sometimes convenient to
place it in a candle stand. This is especially true of offertory candles and
small altar candles which are easily tipped over if they are not put into a
holder of some kind. Candle stands with hollow bases have the additional benefit
of providing a hiding place for the names and personal concerns of the one for
who the work is being done. For complete discretion, tape the name-paper and
items inside and then fit a circle or square of green felt to the bottom of the
candle with contact cement. No one will know there is anything inside, but the
candle stand will be "fixed" for the trick you are doing.

When a candle is burned in sections, it is invariably pinched
out, not blown out at the end of each session, to signify that the spell is not
yet complete. A more graceful way to put out candles than by spitting on your
fingers and pinching, is to snuff the candles out with an old-fashioned candle
snuffer. This eliminates objectionable smoke from the snuffed candle. Small candle
snuffers are also used by many hoodoo practitioners to form their loose Incense Powder into
perfect cones for burning.

Using kitchen
tongs, hold the charcoal disk over the stove and set it alight, then blow out
the flame. Place the disk in a metal or stone incense burner or thurible, with
the glowing side up, and drop grains of resin incense, herbs, oils, and/or self-
lighting incense powders onto it.

Incense may be burned in any non-flammable container, but most people prefer
to place their charcoal disks and incense in a specially made incense brazier or
incense burner that stands on legs, so that the heat of the burning charcoal
will not mar their altar or table surface. One old-fashioned name for this
common altar tool is a thurible, and during rituals, the person who tends to the
incense, especially when it is kept in a hanging thurible and waved about during
the services, is called the thurifer. For home use, a standing incense brazier
is generally preferred, and it should be large enough to hold a charcoal disk
and resin incense. Stick incense (agarbathi sticks) are often burned in special
ash-catching incense holders.

MORTAR
AND PESTLE:

For those who work with traditional magical ingredients such as herbs,
roots, and seeds a mortar and pestle set is a necessity when making up powders,
incense compounds, or bath crystals. Most practitioners prefer to have at least
two mortar and pestle sets, one for use with edible herbs and the other for
toxic or inedible plant matter.

We sell a complete line of custom-made, fixed, and
prepared, mojo hands, but for those wishing to create their own conjure
hands, here are the empty bags, as well as muslin sacks for brewing teas and
herb baths, fancy brocade bags for carrying amulets and talismans, and large
panne velvet drawstring pouches for keeping tarot and cartomancy cards safe.

WALL ALTARS:

We offer some very interesting wall altars. Check for the
availability of our Thai Wall Altars. These are the same kind of
Thai wall altars that many folks will recognize having seen in Thai
restaurants. They are made of red laquered wood with a gilded plastic
railing and front piece on which is depicted a praying Thai spirit-
entity (sometimes called an "angel" or a "fairy" by Thai people in
America). Altars come complete with a metal hanger on the back.
Two sizes available. Although these are Buddhist in origin, they look
great with any sort of sacred statuary on them. We do not always have
these items in stock so you need to check availability when ordering.
Special Shipping instructions will apply. We also offer Mexican
Retablo style Wall Altars. These items are a lovely addition to any
ceremonial altar.

EMPTY GLASS BOTTLES
TO MAKE YOUR OWN
BOTTLE SPELL
or ANOINTING OILS:

There
are many types of bottle spells used in folk magic traditions from
around the world. Almost every culture that uses bottles (or gourds,
or animal horns) as containers also has developed ways to use those
containers to hold works of magical spell craft.

A spell bottle is a bottle into which a magical spell has been
cast in the form of physical items used to ensure that the spell
results in the desired outcome. A bottle spell is a magical spell
that is contained within a bottle, and which, when finished, is
expected to work for the ends one desires.

Cobalt Lt. Blue Glass "Bean" Shape Bottle with Cork, 3"x 3"
Here is a sweet-looking potion bottle -- light violet-cobalt blue with
an old fashioned rolled rim and cork stopper; a flattened "bean" shape
for use as a traditional potion bottle or to fill and place in the
window as a protective witch bottle. Cute! 2" High x 3" Wide.

Pale Green Glass Round Cream Cup Bottle with Cork,
2"x1 3/4" This is a small, short, squat style of jar
made from very pale green recycled glass. The shape is
what used to be called a "Cream Cup" in restaurants -- a
tiny container for coffee cream. Made of glass and
outfitted with a cork stopper, it serves beautifully as
a Spice or Herb Jar, or a diminutive container for a
special Bottle Spell. 1 oz. capacity. 2 1/8" High x 1
5/8" Wide.

Pens are used with scented inks for writing prayers, petitions, and pacts.
Steel Nib Dip Pens with wooden handles are the easiest to use. Feather Quill Dip
Pens are old-style and authentic, but they are uncut, so you must cut your own
points before using them.

Old Fashioned Laundry Sprinkler, Red/WhiteNot too many people sprinkle their laundry anymore, but those who do will
find this old-fashioned 1950s style plastic and cork sprinkler convenient; it
can also be used to make a ritual asperging or sprinkling bottle. Red and white plastic with cork fitting to use
with your own bottle.
